Accessible Weddings: How to Plan an Inclusive Wedding

Weddings are about celebrating love and bringing people together. But without thoughtful planning, guests with mobility needs can easily feel excluded or overwhelmed.

Whether you’re organising your own wedding or helping plan one, making accessibility a priority ensures everyone can be part of the magic.

Here’s how to plan an inclusive wedding without compromising on style, vibe, or joy.

🏰 Choose an Accessible Venue

When scouting locations, ask:

• Is there step-free access throughout the venue?

• Are accessible toilets available on the same level?

• What’s the terrain like - grass, gravel, stairs?

• Is on-site parking close to the entrance?

💡 Tip: Include access info on your invites or wedding website to help guests plan ahead.

🪑 Layout & Seating Tips

Make sure your seating plan and layout work for everyone:

• Wider aisles for guests using mobility aids

• Flexible seating arrangements with accessible spaces

• Breakout areas where guests can rest or take a breather

🚐 Getting There

If you're providing transport, choose wheelchair-friendly vehicles or taxis that can store mobility aids. Let guests share their needs on the RSVP.

📝 Ask Your Guests

Include a note on your invites or RSVP form asking:
“Do you have any access needs we should be aware of?”

It's a simple question that opens the door to thoughtful planning.

🌟 Make It Personal

Mobility aids don’t have to be clinical or hidden. In fact, they can be beautiful.
